To all w/wma't may concern: i Be it knownthet i, FRANK 'Wiinnniin, a citizen'of the United States, residing in the city of Los Angeles, county of Les Am geles, and State of California, have invented certain new and useful' improvements in ,GasBurners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to gas burners, and more particularly to a burner adapted to vaporize or. convert hydrocarbon or other fluid fuel into gas and "to mixthe some with atmospheric air and to burn the some. Among the salient objects or my invention are to provide a most simple and inexpensive burner of the character referred to,

adapted to be used in stoves oi" all kinds having a fire box into which the burner can be set and connected with at source of kerosene or other fuel oil; to provide in connection therewith means whereby said burner can be conn .cted from its bottom, or from one side, with said fuel supoiy; to provide a combination base and plug ror said burner, when the connection with the oil supply is made through the side of the burner; to provide in connection therewith integrally formed guards or shields for protecting the pertsof said burner which might otherwise be injured by the heat and, general to provide a burner of the character referred to which can be taken apart very easily and the parts of which can be replaced.

In order to more fully explain my invention, I have illustrated one practical (:Il'lbflfli ment thereof on the accompanying sheet of drawings, in NVl1iCi1,-

. Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention, with parts broken out to show the interior construction;

Fig. 2 is a side elevation from the left hand side of Fig. 1,

3 is s top plan view, and

Fig. i is top plan view of a pendike element for initially heating the burner.

Referring now more in detail to the drawings, the body of my burner is designeted 1i and is provided in its bottom with e thread ed inlet, 2, and at one side it is provided with another threaded inlet 3 "whereby said burner body can be connected either through its bottom, or at the side, with a sourc of fuel supply. Seid oony has formed in its top, two depressions, s end 5, into which fuel can be placed and ignited "to? the purlgeeifiostien oi itetters Patent.

l i and plu element, 13.. adapted to be screwed pipc communicating with said .lpplication filed February 12,1912. Serial No. 216,82

pose of initially heating the burnen Also 4 formed integrally with the top of .saioi burner body are two guards or shields, v and 7. At one side of the burner eody .isen

oiiset portion 8, to receive a short piece 01,? pipe 9', connected with the upper end of which,

is an elbow 10, into which is adischarge nozzle ll, ar'nnge'd to discharge down Wardl onto the top of the burner body and between the shields (S and 7. These shields are intended to protect the pipe 9 nd also lie supply pipe 12, connected into the side' of the burner, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. l, l lmve shown it combination base into the bottom of the burner body when the supply pipe 1:2 155 connected into the side of said burner.

In Fif have shown the supply n pe connected into the bottom of the burner loody, said pipe being 'provided \illli an elbow l. have designetcd 14, and also provided an. annular pan element, 16. which can lJO mounted under the burner bod for the purpose of receiving liquid fuel for initially heating said burner body, before the supply of liquid fuei is turned into the body of the burner to be converted into gas The operation of my burner may be briefly described as follows:

The supply of oil turned into the body of the burner, either through the bottom thereof, or through. the side thereof, said body being: first licitorl initially by means of fuel in the log) depressions and 5. in the annular pun 1G. The oil gssiiierl in the body and expands and (lie ns up- .Wsi'dly through the pipe 9, the elbow 10, and is then rlisclmrged through the small opening 11 in the discharge nozzle, 11, down on to hot top of the nirner body 1, and between the shields U and 7, st the some time mixing with the atmospheric air and thereby making :1 better Combustion.

I do not limit my invention to the exact details here slioi-vn for purposes of illus tretiou, except ll muy be limited by the 'l ereto appended claims.

lcluiin:

A burner of the described comprising providing a large chamber discharge pipe from one 51(13 i leer and tend r to o e h g tee said burner and to discharge downwardly onto said top surface, and integrally formed shields at opposite sides of the point of discharge on said burner top, for the purpose indicated.

2. A burner of the character shown and described comprising a hollow cast body provided in its side and in its bottom with threaded inlets, a combination base and plug adapted to screw into the bottom thereof, an annular pan element supported under the body thereof, and a discharge pipe extended upwardly from the side of said body and overhanging the top thereof and having a small discharge opening for discharging downwardly onto the top of said burner body, substantially as described.

* 3. A burner. of the character shown and described comprising a hollow cast bddy provided in its side and in its bottom with threaded inlets, a combination base and plug adapted to be screwed into the bottom therewardly onto said top, andshield elements.

on the top of said burner, substantially as described.
